Montreal loses ugly in Columbus, and we're fed up with tanking narratives!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens: Montreal played an absolute stinker in Columbus, losing 5-1 to the Blue Jackets in a game where they looked a lot like the Habs from earlier this year. Scott and Laura discuss how the game got away from the team, and if there can be any kind of rebound effort after a listless performance. Tied into that, the AHL club, the Laval Rocket had a big test of their own, coming up just short in overtime to the Rochester Amerks. Scott breaks down the game, including a three point night for top prospect Jesse Ylönen in his return to the AHL. Both hosts discuss also how the success of the Rocket this year is such a long time in the making, and how that process will likely impact the NHL club as well. The duo also talk about the development of Jesse Ylönen and how his growth in North America makes him a prime target to make an NHL impact next season. Finally, both hosts have had enough of the idea that the Canadiens have to lose ugly to tank effectively to end the regular season. With a top three pick all but assured for Montreal this year, what harm could it do to win some games down the stretch? The team has five playoff teams on their schedule in the last eight games, is it too much to ask the team to put together a strong run of play to end the year, and end this nightmare year with some pride?
